    I don't know why you want to disguise your shed dee it all looks lovely, but if you want to change it you could always paint it another colour, how about a golden yellow or blue, there are so many to choose from now.
    You could train some climbing plants up it but you would have to put some netting up first so you can take the plants away when you have to repaint it.
    You could also have a window box. Just some ideas.

    Dee your garden looks lovely. They want a bit of growing on, but if you want a Boston Ivy seedling to grow over your shed for autumn colour, just say the word and when they are big enough, I will send you one.

    It's beautiful, Cutie, and as everyone says so neat and tidy, quite different than my higgledy-piggledyness. Well done, it's truly lovely. [​IMG]

    agree with everyone else, its anice looking garden, but as a thought, why not carry on with the screening you have on the sides?

    Stop showing your garden ydd. It makes me sick. With jealousy i mean. It's so nice. Your shed is not ugly at all but obviously it's your choice.

    I've just noticed the terracotta clock/thermometer on it. How weird, just been to Aldi & in their leaflet for next week is one of those [​IMG] I just said to hubby this morning that it was nice. What one is yours, clock or therm.

    cheers
